TGIC ! Hey folks.. it actually stopped raining here.. yesterday afternoon the weather goddess had mercy on us and split east and west.. they got pounded, we got some sun.... water table seems to be 3" under the ground...

TGIC indeed. Only one seen at end of that notorious linkie. Folk must be ootside enjoying selves. Saw comment-laden thread about graffiti painted on late whale, declined to type anything.Sposed to've been doing newsltr all day, but Failure To Plan Ahead led furrst to scarcity of paper (since remedied) then to toner exhausting itself. Coupla pages nearly called for reprint over, but look like Wrath of Inigo Montoya.While whinging, there's 3 day Scout activity nearby, sufficiently promoed in local club rag but not statewide one. E-drses have failed, others' in-boxes overstuffed so they'll get hard copies by USMule mayhap Mon when event's over. May be up all night running pages, but why? Did e-mail Preliminary Draft of issue to those who could receive, as well as some whom couldn't & theirs bounced.Oh yah --

Quite Young GangOf5 lying all over Plumbicon in late-ish 2009 when they were, Quite Young.

Lucky you! Not so lucky us who really, really, really need some rain. It's in the 90's here and we're in a drought. :'-(

Remind me how upset I was about the drought when winter rolls around and I'm sitting on my roof watching the neighborhood wash away. El Nino is here this year and I'm on a flood plain. :-/

Have you had localized flooding out that way this year? I've heard when the water table is so shallow like that, it can be hell on things like, oh, the foundation to your house when it rains, even if it's not too terribly much. That would be really sucky right there.

Real Women Drink Akvavit:You got really bad allergies or are you other sickly? They both suck, but dang, you need a break from whatever it is.

I don't have allergies. Have been very lucky that way. At first, I thought it was a sinus infection. That was 2 days ago. Now I think it's a cold, or something...I haz a fever and the right side of my face is just blocked up bad! ACK! *stoopy germ spreaders at work* I have had about 7 hrs. of sleep in the past 2 days. :(

Unfortunately, Lily is not a very good nurse kitteh. Climbs all over me when I'm laying down, tries to lick my face, etc.....maybe that's her way of helping, but it doesn't make me feel better. Still lvs her doe. :D

Need to re-read text files Aways Back to remind self who fetched us 2 Young Lady Military Police Students, Alea & Amanda, when they began basic training at Ft LostInTheWds. Unless someone recalls who's to blame/credit? MP school appears completed; card sent to one Feb 18 for pete's sake came back today, yellow-labelled for No Fwd & dated Apr 26. Bet envelope sat in mailroom for 6-8 wks. Sent postcard to each today, crossed in carrier's hands, both'll be back; lessee how long they take.

More who were Young Ago; Omar, Orah & Ouija, fostered by AnyName who I'm not looking up.

Oh, noes! It could be a sinus infection - infections and fever go hand in hand.

Oh, congrats! Were you trying to lose weight? I am so bad at the losing weight thing. I lost some weight, then gained some back. Then I lost another weight or some and gained some of that back. So I'm still down some pounds, but not like a normal person who is supposed to be losing weight would be. But that's ok! I'm gonna die some day anyway and then I truly will no longer give a crap, because then the weight will come off naturally. It really does all work out in the end!

Everything around here is a sponge... apparently most of the neighborhood used to be a swamp.. the side street by my house was a short dead end .. my house and the one across the street face the former dead end street, but our addresses are for the main street intersecting.. everything downhill from me is flat and slow to drain.. I have an underground creek under my back yard, which keeps my grass green the entire summer, while everybody else has brown crunchy lawns.. the daycare two doors down brings the kids to my yard to play, which is ok.. and no dogs, so no land mines to navigate.... Fred does his thing in the mulch around back, so no problems there... I have a full basement, and the sump pump runs a lot.. even have a backup pump installed for real heavy rains.... no foundation issues yet....
